PS3 Wi-Fi External Adapter - Blu-ray Forum

vladittude0583 · 04-04-2010, 06:35 PM

Hey guys, is there a device I can purchase that can be connected to the PS3 via USB that'll act as my external Wi-Fi adapter? I have an original 60GB PS3 and I've noticed that via wireless, the adapter has a hard time locking on to the signal in my house let alone having a continuous stream whereas my 80GB PS3 has no issues at all. In contrast, when connected via a ethernet cable, my 60GB PS3 has no issues at all, however, the last thing I want is an ethernet cable running around, etc. By the way, I have a D-LINK DIR-655 Wireless N Router which is by no means a crappy router either. Thus, do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks.

Ive never had any experience with this issue, as mine is hard wired. But a quick google search came up with something like this. http://www.google.com/products/catal...wAg#ps-sellers

That's used to create a wireless access point off of you hard wired computer.

check into the Trendnet TEW 647GA Adaopter. It will give you N speeds. I have not used one as mine is hard wired. Some people with the other geming console have used it and reported good things. Something to look at.

That will work with the PS3. I have one for my samsung blu-ray player and it works pretty well.
